Ariana Grande - Positions Album Lyrics

shut up

My presence sweet and my aura bright
Diamonds good for my appetite
Guess it f*ckin' just clicked one night
All them demons helped me see shit differently
So don't be sad for me

How you been spending your time? (Huh)
How you be using your tongue? (Huh)
You be so worried 'bout mine (Huh)
Can't even get yourself none

You know you sound so dumb (So dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (So dumb)

So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, yeah, maybe you should shut up
Said, if only you would shut up
Uh, yeah, that's right, you should shut up

I vibrate high and my circle lit
We ain't really with drugs and shit
Love the game so I never miss
Keep opinions muted for the hell of it
'Cause I like my shit

How you been spending your time? (Huh)
How you be using your tongue? (Huh)
You be so worried 'bout mine (Huh)
Can't even get yourself none

You know you sound so dumb (So dumb, so dumb)
You know you sound so dumb (So dumb)

So maybe you should shut up
Hmm, yeah, maybe you should shut up
Said, if only you would shut up
Uh, yeah, that's right, you should shut up

Motive

[feat. Doja Cat]

(Murda, Murda)

Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna make me yours

'Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on

Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
So tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?

I could call bullsh-- out from a mile away (don't say)
You'll want me if you can
Keep coming back for me
Might have to curve you
If you just can't talk straight (just say)
Say what you mean, 'cause you might get it

'Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on

Tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive? (Uh)
So tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?

(Yah, yah, ayy)
You treat me like gold baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy?
Or you wanna sport me, baby?
Want me on your neck 'cause you wanted respect
'Cause you're fighting some war, baby
Well I had to bring the fists out
Had to put a wall up
But don't trust phonies, baby
You gotta tell me what's your motive baby

'Cause you got your candy on your arm
No need to sugarcoat a lie
Say what you want
I needed a real bonafide G
Can you promise me
You'll bring it all tonight
'Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that's on your mind

Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive? (uh)
So tell me what's your motive? (yeah, tell me baby)
What's your motive? What's your motive?
What's your motive? (yeah, ayy)

just like magic

Wake up in my bed
I just wanna have a good day
Thinking in my head
Then it happens how it should, aye

Twelve o' clock I got a team meeting
Then a meditation at like one thirty
Then I ride to the studio
Listening to some shit I wrote

Good karma, my aesthetic (Aesthetic)
Keep my conscience clear that's why I'm so magnetic
Manifest it, I finessed it (I finessed it)
Take my pen and write some love letters to heaven

Just like magic, just like magic
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it
Just like magic, I'm attractive
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

It's like looking at my phone
But I'm tryna disconnect it
Read a f*cking book
I be tryna stay connected

Say it's tricky at the top
Gotta keep a slim ego for a thick wallet
Losing friends left and right
But I just send them love and light

Good karma, my aesthetic (My aesthetic)
Keep my conscience clear that's why I'm so magnetic
Manifest it, I finessed it
Take my pen and write some love letters to heaven

Just like magic, just like magic
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it
Just like magic, I'm attractive
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it

I don't wanna waste your time on some dumb shit
Password to your phone, you can miss me with that shit
Redesign your brain, we gon' make some new habits
Just like magic, just like magic

Just like magic, just like magic
Middle finger to my thumb and then I snap it
Just like magic, I'm attractive
I get everything I want 'cause I attract it
('Cause I attract it, yeah)

off the table

(feat. The Weeknd)

Will I ever love the same way again?
Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you?
Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace
I swear it don't mean to be this way
If I can't have you, is love completely off the table?

Do I sit this one out and wait for the next life?
Am I too cold, am I not nice?
Might not be quite yet healed already
Should I be going too steady
But I just wanna know, is love completely off the table?

Will you be there?
Can I still love you? (Can I, can I?)
Not yet healed already (Not ready)
Should I be going too steady (Too steady)
Just wanna know, is love completely off the table?

I'll wait for you, even though it always feels like I'll be number two
To someone you can't hold anymore
If you let me in, I'm ready to give you what I couldn't before
'Cause I got you girl, let me help you through it
You're trying to fill the void with a couple boys
I can see right through it

I can love you harder than I did before
Was in a dark place back then, I was toxic and then I was toxic to someone else
I was haunted by the hills, oh yeah
I couldn't give you my all, but I will
If you let me in your arms
If you let me in your heart
I don't think that love's completely off the table

Will you be there? (Yes, I will be there for ya)
Can I still love you? (Yes, I been hurt before, before)
Not yet healed already (Not ready)
Should I be going too steady (Too steady)
Just wanna know, is love completely off the table?

So can you hold me?
If I let you, can you prove it to me?
'Cause I need you to calm me down, babe
Gotta get out of my head
Trying to be here from this bed
Just wanna know, just wanna know know know, baby

Can you touch it like you believe in it, baby?
Let me think you never gonna leave on me, baby
'Cause I ain't her and you ain't him thankfully
But it's gon' be hard to let someone else in again, babe

Will you be there? Will you be there?
(I'll still wait, I'll still wait for you baby)
Can I still love you?
Not yet healed already (Not ready)
Should I be going too steady (No, no, no)
Just wanna know, is love completely off the table?

I swear, I swear
I will wait for you whenever you need
Ooh-ooh

I know I be on some bullshit
Know I be driving you crazy
But I know you love how I whip it
You can only stay mad for a minute
So come here and give me some kisses
You know I'm very delicious
You know I'm very impatient
Might change my mind, so don't keep me waiting

Even if one day I lose it and go crazy

I'm the release, you the dopamine

And you wonder, baby, if I'm gonna stay (Stay)
Even if one day you lose it and go crazy

Down like my foot on the gas

And I wanna play video games at 2am?

Will you ride 'til the end?
Am I enough to keep your love?
When I'm old and stuff
Will you still have a crush?

Are you down, what's up?
Are you down, what's up?

safety net

(feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

You know you're really something, yeah
How'd we get here so damn fast?
Only you can tell me that
Baby, 'cause you know I'm coming back

You're making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Let your guard down, girl
You know we came too far now, girl
It's time for you to play your part now
You know we hit that jewelry store and we gon' ball out
Ups and downs, we had some fallouts
Put some ice on you, girl, let it thaw out
Girl, you're mine, it's safe to say
At the end of the day

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Every time you feel some way, feel a way
Never let me run away, run away, my baby
Every time you feel some way, feel a way
Never let me run away, run away

(Girl, you got me)
Tripping, falling with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

my hair

I'ma give you some instructions
That you can't be scared to try
I want you to touch it softly
Like the way you do my mind
It's got body and it's smooth to touch
The same way as my skin
Don't you be scared

To run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair
Ooh baby, so don't you be scared
So come run your hands through my hair

It's been way long overdue
Just like these inches down my back
Usually don't let people touch it
But tonight, you get a pass

Spend my dimes and spend my time
To keep it real, sometimes, it's tracks
But I don't care

So run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair
Ooh baby, so don't you be scared
So come run your hands through my hair

This ain't usually me
But I might let it down for you
This ain't usually me
But I might let it down for you

So come run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
So come run your hands through my hair
Don't you be scared
Come run your hands through my hair

love language

Ooh, I know you're probably thinking what's the use
I promise it's the little things that you do
That make me want to give it all to you
You know I do, babe

You soothe me, you hold it down with every word you speak
Baby, it's been a minute since I had something so sweet

If you gonna keep speaking my love language
You can talk your shit all night
You the medication when I'm feeling anxious
That's the kind of shit I like
Teach me how to love you, I'm unlearning what ain't right
I want you to keep speaking my love language
Baby, talk your shit all night

Why would I double back or do the same thing twice?
A question, something that I can't deny
Leave my baggage at the door, I'll claim you mine
All mine

You soothe me, you hold it down with every word you speak
Baby, been a minute since I had something so sweet

If you gonna keep speaking my love language
You can talk your shit all night
You the medication when I'm feeling anxious
That's the kind of shit I like
Teach me how to love you, I'm unlearning what ain't right
I want you to keep speaking my love language
Baby, talk your shit all night

Baby, pardon my French
But could you speak in tongues?
Never lost in translation
'Cause you know what I want, boy
Treat it just like Givenchy
It's expensive to taste
Ain't no need to remind you
It's AG in your face

If you gonna keep speaking my love language
You can talk your shit all night
You the medication when I'm feeling anxious
That's the kind of shit I like
Teach me how to love you, I'm unlearning what ain't right
I want you to keep speaking my love language
Baby, talk your shit all night

Head over my shoes like, "Woah"
Know you like an inside joke
Running 'cause you just my speed
'Less you want it in slo-mo
I'm not what you had before
Your ex-girlfriend don't want no smoke
I ain't tryna sign no lease
I'm just gon' make him my home

Positions

Heaven sent you to me
I'm just hoping I don't repeat history

Boy I'm tryna meet your mama
On a Sunday
Then make a lotta love
On a Monday (Ah, ah)
Never need no (No)
No one else, babe
'Cause I'll be

obvious

I love the taste of you in the morning
Keep me warm and
Nothing else, nothing more important
Makes me want to believe in love

I love the thought of us in the evening
Crave the feeling
The way you feel, something 'bout it's healing
I'm praying we don't f*ck this up

Others that I've had had to impress me before
But I knew you were the real thing when you walked through that door
I didn't think that I would have to spell it out

Don't put the bands, put the bands on me
Oh my love, oh my love is free
Ain't no price on my loyalty
No shit got me right where you want me
Baby, could I be more obvious

(Ooh) Hard to think when I'm under you
Tell you all of my dirty truths
No shit got me right where you want me
Baby, could I be more obvious

Maybe if I'm lucky you might stay the afternoon
If you've gotta work just promise me you'll come back soon
Maybe you should pack a suitcase too (Too)

I love the thought of you never leaving
Days repeating
Getting steps up on the treadmill while you're sleeping
Never thought I'd believe in love again

Others that I've had had to impress me before
But I knew you were the real thing when you walked through that door
I didn't think that I would have to spell it out

Don't put the bands, put the bands on me
Oh my love, oh my love is free
Ain't no price on my loyalty
No shit got me right where you want me
Baby, could I be more obvious

(Ooh) Hard to think when I'm under you
Tell you all of my dirty truths
No shit got me right where you want me
Baby, could I be more obvious (Obvious)

pov

It's like you got superpowers
Turn my minutes into hours
You've got more than 20/20, babe
Made of glass the way you see through me

You know me better than I do
Can't seem to keep nothing from you
How you touch my soul from the outside
Permeate my ego and my pride

I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view

I wanna trust me (Trust me)
The way that you trust me (Trust me)
Ooh, 'cause nobody ever
Loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view

I'm getting used to receiving
Still getting good at not leaving
I'ma love you even though I'm scared
Learning to be grateful for myself

You love my lips, 'cause they say the
Things we've always been afraid of
I can feel it starting to subside
Learning to believe in what is mine

I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view

I wanna trust me (Trust me)
The way that you trust me (Trust me)
Ooh, 'cause nobody ever
Loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view

I couldn't believe it
Or see it for myself
Know I be impatient
But now, I'm out here falling, falling
Frozen, slowly thawing
Got me right
I won't keep you waiting, waiting
All my baggage fading safely
And if my eyes deceive me
Won't let them stray too far away

I wanna love me (Ooh)
The way that you love me (Ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view

I wanna trust me (Trust me)
The way that you trust me, baby (Trust me)
'Cause nobody ever
Loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view
Yeah
